Which questions will get him the answer he is seeking? a)Do you like Disneyland? b)Which is better, King’s Island or Cedar Point? c)Where would you most like to go on the senior trip? Option “c” would be the best question to ask. Option “a” only asks about Disneyland and option “b” only asks about King’s Island or Cedar Point. Both are limited and, therefore, biased.

Observational Study – data are recorded after just observing the sample and used to compare reactions and draw a conclusion about responses of the population.

21
Experiment – data are recorded after changing the sample and used to make general conclusions about what will happen during an event.
